The army led by Yuan Jixian has arrived in Ganzhou.
Ganzhou Prefecture has a dense water network, which is very suitable for the navy.
Therefore, Yuan Jixian brought the entire Jiangxi navy this time, preparing to give the rebellious King Gui army a severe lesson.
Judging from its shape, Ganzhou Mansion looks like a turtle.
Gan County is located on the flank of the turtle.
You can go all the way south from Zhangshui to Nanxiong Mansion in Guangdong.
The key point of defense here is Meiling.
As long as Meiling is defended, the rebels can only wait and sigh.
In the other direction, that is, Dingnan, it is adjacent to Longchuan in Guangdong.
Dingnan is located at Guwei.
If the rebels plan to attack from Guwei, they must pass through Dingnan.
Yuan Jixian only needs to order the army to guard Chengling and Shenxianling to block the rebels' approach.
With these two directions blocked, the rebels in Guangdong have nothing to fear.
It’s just that Jiangxi also borders Fujian.
Judging from all the current signs, Zheng Zhilong's rebellion is all about that layer of window paper.
Once Zheng Zhilong pierces that layer of window paper, he will not hesitate to cooperate with King Gui to launch a fierce attack on Jiangxi.
Attacking Jiangxi from Fujian generally follows two directions.
One is to choose to march from the direction of Yanping Prefecture, pass through Shunchang, Jiangle, and Jianning, and then enter the jurisdiction of Jiangxi Jianchang Prefecture via Baizhang Mountain.
To defend against possible rebel attacks, Yuan Jixian had to leave some troops in Jianchang.
Although Jianchang Prefecture has a small jurisdiction, it is the east gate of Jiangxi and cannot be missed.
If Jianchang is defeated, Fuzhou Prefecture and even Nanchang Prefecture will be in danger.
Of course, Zheng Zhilong could also choose to march directly from Tingzhou Prefecture to attack Ganzhou.
Ruijin is located on the right side of Ganzhou Prefecture, across the mountain from Changting.
If the rebels want to enter Ganzhou from now on, they must attack Ruijin.
Therefore, Yuan Jixian also needs to keep people in Ruijin.
It seems that Yuan Jixian still has many points to defend.
Fortunately, Jiangxi has an army of more than 100,000, so it is still possible to defend in four directions.
Yuan Jixian himself also temporarily set up the governor's headquarters in Gan County to express his decisive attitude to the army.
This battle must be won.
The conflict within the Zheng family came very quickly.
Zheng Zhilong made arrangements in advance and took the lead in attacking.
He sent troops to surround Zheng Hongkui's residence and forced Zheng Hongkui to surrender his military power and obey.
But Zheng Hongkui was not someone to be bullied.
He organized the guards in the mansion to fight to the death and refused to compromise.
Zheng Zhilong became a little angry for a moment.
Why is my younger brother so ignorant?
He did this all for the good of the Zheng family.
Why did the fourth brother always oppose him?
Although Zheng Zhilong was a cold-blooded and ruthless man, he couldn't kill Zheng Hongkui directly.
But the problem now is that Zheng Hongkui is very uncooperative.
If he continues to waste money, he may have long nights and many dreams.
At this time, one of Zheng Zhilong's confidants suggested that Zheng Zhilong burn a stunner and throw it into the yard to stun all the people in the yard.
This will make Zheng Hongkui and his servants lose all their combat effectiveness in a short period of time, and Zheng Zhilong can easily send troops to attack.
Zheng Zhilong was immediately happy when he heard this suggestion.
He didn't want to hurt Zheng Hongkui's life, so poisoning him was obviously the best way.

Just as he said, Zheng Zhilong immediately ordered this poisonous weed unique to Fujian to be burned and immediately thrown into the yard.
Zheng Hongkui, who was organizing the defense in the mansion, obviously did not expect that his brother would use this method to force him to submit.
He didn't even react when he saw countless ignited poisonous weeds thrown into the courtyard.
By the time he reacted, it was already too late.
Although this poisonous weed is not fatal, it has a very strong stun effect.
If you directly cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel, it will still have a delaying effect, but if you just suck in the air like this, you will soon pass out.
Sure enough, Zheng Hongkui's men fainted one after another.
Even Zheng Hongkui is not immune.
It took Zheng Zhilong less than a moment to clear all obstacles.
He ordered his subordinates to break in and tie up all Zheng Hongkui's men.
These people were only temporarily comatose and would still wake up.
Zheng Zhilong didn't want these people to have another fierce fight when they woke up.
Finally Zheng Zhilong came to Zheng Hongkui's side.
He sighed and said: "Fourth brother, why don't you understand?
Being a brother is all for the good of the Zheng family.
It was the same when accepting the imperial court's recruitment, and it is the same now when cooperating with the Qing court and the King of Gui.
Only the Zheng family Profit is the most important thing.
Everything else is expendable.”
At this point, Zheng Zhilong also knew that he and Zheng Hongkui could not go back to the close relationship they had in the past.
After this incident, he will confine Zheng Hongkui alone in the house and provide him with delicious food and drink.
But Zheng Hongkui's most important things, his military power and freedom, will be deprived of him.
Zheng Zhilong will distribute the military power that belongs to Zheng Hongkui to a few confidants, so that his biggest worry will be relieved.
The next day, everyone in Nan'an City learned about Zheng Hongkui's house arrest.
Some Zheng clan members who had originally planned to fight against Zheng Zhilong surrendered and asked for Zheng Zhilong's forgiveness.
Zheng Zhilong chose to forgive these people.
After all, the war ahead is tense right now, and this is not the time for internal friction.
He first lifted Zheng Hongkui's military power in order to serve as a warning and let those who opposed him see clearly the cost of doing so.
As long as these people can find their way back, Zheng Zhilong can still be lenient.
Of course, there are also stubborn people.
These people think that Zheng Zhilong is worse than a beast by imprisoning his brother.
They used all the troops they could to directly attack Zheng Zhilong's mansion.
Zheng Zhilong was not afraid at all.
His mansion was built like a royal palace, with all the necessary fortifications.
If any cat or dog could threaten him, all his years would have been in vain.
A big battle started in Nan'an City.
Although the coalition forces opposing Zheng Zhilong were large in number, they lacked firearms and equipment, especially heavy weapons such as cannons.
This disadvantage became apparent when attacking Zheng Zhilong's mansion.
Zheng Zhilong ordered people to use firearms and took turns using cannons and firecrackers to suppress the coalition forces.
In an instant, the coalition forces suffered heavy casualties.
By the time the coalition forces finally built a ladder on the courtyard wall of Zheng Zhilong's residence, most of the main force was already dead.
However, they still chose to fight to the end.
They are all natives of Fujian, and they must not let Zheng Zhilong drag Fujian into a situation of no return.
Gradually, some of the coalition forces climbed over the courtyard wall and entered Zheng Zhilong's mansion.
They engaged in close combat with Zheng Zhilong's direct army soldiers.
Firearms cannot exert their power at such a close distance, and both sides rely on their weapons.

The swords clashed with each other, making a crisp sound.
No one wanted to give in.
This was a life-and-death battle that no one could afford to lose
